We’re excited to announce the winners of the AdMob Student App Challenge, a mobile app development contest open exclusively to students. Students from all over the world were challenged to build a great app and monetize it it using the AdMob platform, with a chance to win awesome prizes.

We had hundreds of app submissions from more than 90 countries and hosted more than 50 events worldwide. Our 5 winning apps have made a huge splash in the Google Play Store, and have already amassed over 300,000 downloads and nearly 6,000 reviews combined.

After extensive review, the judging panel selected 4 Regional Winners and 1 overall Global Winner. Artavazd Mehrabyab, a judge for the challenge and Co-founder/COO of PicsArt, says he was honored to be a part of the challenge, which he considered “a great demonstration of the large global potential for app development among [a] younger generation.”

Regional Winners receive brand new Nexus tablets, and our Global Winner will receive a free trip to San Francisco and visit Google in Mountain View!

Drumroll please…

GLOBAL WINNER - Stacks FlashcardsTeam Name: Centum

About the team. It is Phani Gaddipati, a student from Colorado Springs, Colorado, who takes home the first-place prize. Having grown up in Colorado, Phani currently studies Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

About the app. Stacks Flashcards is an electronic flashcards app that allows users to memorize material by creating decks of cards, testing their knowledge, and viewing stats on their performance. After his first Organic Chemistry class in college, Phani quickly realized that passing the class would require a lot of memorization. As he searched for an app that would allow him to create flashcards electronically, Phani found a distinct lack of quality apps of this kind, and wanted to build something great on Android. He decided to create one of his own, working hard to make sure that it was easy to navigate with a clean and intuitive user interface. Phani considers user feedback to be crucial to the success of his app, and is constantly working to improve the app’s functionality. Congratulations Phani for being an all-star developer, and creating an app that solves a simple problem in a meaningful way!

About the team. DV Droid is made up of 5 teammates, Darshan H, Venkatesh K B, Shivaprasad K S, Chiranthan K and Santhosh R, from Tumkur, India. The group met as high school students then separated for college, but each decided to pursue degrees in Engineering at their respective universities.

About the app. India 2014 Elections is an informative app that gives a complete historical overview of the Indian Elections results from as far back as 1947, as well as information regarding the most recent 2014 elections cycle. When the team got wind of the AdMob Student challenge, the General Elections in India were fast approaching. They decided to capitalize on the opportunity to create an app that raised awareness among Indian citizens as to the importance of elections and the value of each and every vote. They set out to provide the public with an app that provided useful information in a beautiful way, and judging by its positive reception and success in the app store, they more than succeeded in their mission!

About the team. Skytrait Mobile is the brain-child of Gabriel Brandão, the team’s one and only member. Of Portuguese descent, Gabriel was born in Taiwan and is currently a junior at Towson University just outside of Baltimore, Maryland. In addition to his work, Gabriel would like to acknowledge his friend and classmate Juli Phillips, whom he regularly relied upon for user feedback and testing.

About the app. User simplicity was the foundation upon which Headphone Connect was developed. An “on action” based app, Headphone Connect allows users to assign certain apps to launch automatically as soon as their headphones are plugged in. Gabriel had seen apps that claimed to accomplish this purpose, but most were confusing and hard to set up. Sensing a gap in the market, Gabriel worked hard to create an app with a clean interface, simple setup and useful function. So far, the app has received nearly 2,000 5-star reviews on the Play Store and has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.

About the team. Kookei Studio is made up of two teammates, Leonardo Trench and Gabriele Priuli, both from the State of São Paulo in Brazil. They are currently in their 3rd year of university and are studying Information Systems.

About the app. Match Cube is a gaming app involving strategy and speed, where users match falling cubes according to color within a certain time limit. As he was researching various features in a game creation tool, Leonardo came across a falling cube and decided he wanted to develop a game using that general concept. When it came to app development, Leonardo and Gabriele had to build their knowledge base essentially from scratch, an impressive feat considering the consistently high ratings that their app has received in the Play Store thus far. The team maintains that the key to their early success was the ability to be creative and persistent, particularly in the face of challenges.

About the team. Casper Christiansen and Lucas Eliasen make up the illustrious team Archon Interactive, and are the brains behind the addictive gaming app High Explosive. Both Casper and Lucas come from Zealand, an island region of Denmark, and attend GameIT College in Grenaa. They’re currently studying a mix of HTX (Higher Technical Examination) and game development.

About the app. High Explosive is a puzzle/action game where users use the protagonist bomb to help them explode their way to the exits. To come up with their concept, Casper and Lucas spent many hours brainstorming amongst themselves, trying to think of a game that would be both engaging and different enough from other apps in the marketplace. Once they had the basic concept, they reached out to others to confirm the validity and value of the idea. When they began building the app, both Casper and Lucas were still fairly inexperienced as developers. However, they viewed the opportunity to learn new skills as a fun challenge, and resolved to start small and build upon their original idea in a consistent and measured way.

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks again to every single student who participated!

Our interns have the opportunity to work on some of Google’s most cutting edge and innovative projects - not only in engineering, but across sales and other business functions, bringing a fresh perspective to the work done at Google. To show you just how much of an impact interns make and to highlight their unique experiences, we’re bringing you a special blog series: Google Intern Insights. Make sure to look out for the different interns being featured on the blog throughout the summer!For today's post, meet Dyanna Salcedo, an MBA intern on the Small and Medium Business Solutions (SMB) team.

Tell us one fun, outlandish fact about you!
I’ve played in a World Series of Poker Main Event!

What team are you working on at Google? Can you provide us with a high-level description of your summer project?
I work with the Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) Solutions team. I’m working on a comprehensive marketing analysis for a new Google product specifically targeted towards SMBs.

What’s the best part about working with your manager? What about your team?
My manager, Dong, and the team gave me an idea for this product and a lot of discretion. I like that I have full ownership of what I think is a very important project for Google. The team is great--everyone is friendly and genuinely excited to have me.

We all know Googlers and interns love the food and the other benefits. Outside of some of the well-known perks, what’s your favorite part about working at Google?
I like the community. I meet new people who are always up for coffee or lunch, weekend outings, etc. It’s like business school except I get paid!

What’s something you’ve accomplished during your internship (thus far) that you’re most proud of? Or something you’re looking forward to working on?
Since I’m coming from the finance industry, I’ve tried extra hard to ramp up on SMB needs. I probably read at least 15-20 articles or reports per day, but at least it’s all starting to click.

What does “being Googley” mean to you?
To be Googley is to be someone that others want to work with and be around. Everyone I’ve met so far is like that—friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

If you could give one piece of advice to potential student applicants, what would it be?
Learn as much as you can about the role for which you apply. That means reaching out to Googlers, reading industry news and blogs, and joining student organizations that help you stay immersed.

Best meal at Google so far?
The burritos at Quad’s Portal!

Outside of being a Google intern, what are some fun things you do outside the classroom/office throughout the year?
Well, I’m in business school so… just Google CBS Follies.

What’s your biggest pet peeve?
Inconsiderateness.

Best overheard conversation in a MK/cafe/elevator?
Googler engineers speaking Klingon to one another!

Dream Google office to visit?
Tokyo. Mostly because I love Tokyo.

Best gFit class?
I’ve only been to one so far, but I’m looking forward to checking out an Outdoor Fitness Sesh one day soon.

Best intern event you’ve attended?
An unofficial and unplanned MBA takeover of a San Francisco bar one Saturday afternoon. I ran into Googlers but also other friends I didn’t even realize were in the area.

From Google Glass to Project Loon, Adwords to Docs, our interns have the opportunity to work on some of Google’s most cutting edge and innovative projects. Interns also work across sales and other business functions, bringing a fresh perspective to the work done at Google. To show you just how much of an impact interns make and to highlight their unique experiences, we’re bringing you a special blog series: Google Intern Insights. Make sure to look out for the different interns being featured on the blog throughout the summer!Meet Fiona Yeung, a User Experience Design Intern working at our Mountain View Headquarters. Fiona is a graphic designer attending York University/Sheridan College in Toronto where she is pursuing a Bachelors in Design. When Fiona is not designing something, you can probably find her on the water training and racing other universities with the York University Dragon Boat team. She also enjoys travelling, exploring, and photography.

Tell us one fun, outlandish fact about you!
I’ve climbed 1,776 steps up the CN Tower in Toronto, the world’s tallest metal staircase with my family for charity. I’ve also completed Tough Mudder, a 12 mile obstacle challenge last fall with my dragon boat team!

What inspired you to apply for this internship, and what made Google appealing to you as a potential intern?
I wanted to learn from some of the most talented and innovative people in the industry. I also wanted to gain experience working at a larger company. With Google’s size, even though I would be focusing on one product area, I knew I would still get the chance to learn about all the other innovative projects that Google is working on such as the Self-driving Car, Google Glass, and Project Loon. Lastly, the internship program itself is extremely well-developed with tons of classes, workshops, and tech talks catered to help us develop our leadership and teamwork skills.

What team are you working on at Google? Can you provide us with a high-level description of your summer project?
I’m a user experience design intern for Google+, specifically on the core mobile app team. One of the projects that I’m working on this summer is to redesign Google suggested posts such as “Communities you might like” or “Trending” posts so that they’re consistent across all platforms. I get to think about what the animations and interactions will be like so that users can use these suggested posts better, while having a smooth and delightful experience.

What’s the best part about working with your manager? What about your team?
My manager Brynn is incredibly inspiring because she is proactive and a great leader. I love working with her because of her enthusiasm, passion, and great energy. I’m lucky to have a mentor like Brynn to guide me through the internship. I also admire her involvement in the design community where she created an event series for women in design called XX+UX. I hope to help her spread these series to even more cities and host one when I’m back home in Toronto!

The best part about working with my team is how collaborative and supportive everyone is. Being able to walk around and check out what everyone is working on, as well as our weekly Mocktails where we all gather together to share ideas and show what we’ve been working on is something I really enjoy.

We all know Googlers and interns love the food and the other benefits. Outside of some of the well-known perks, what’s your favorite part about working at Google?
My favorite part about working at Google is knowing that the work I’m doing will be impacting millions of users around the world. The culture at Google is also a huge plus. The environment is collaborative, open, and makes you feel welcomed. The people are humble and you really get a sense of community among each other.

What’s something you’ve accomplished during your internship (thus far) that you’re most proud of? Or something you’re looking forward to working on?
I’m proud of the iterations that I’ve created thus far because I get to push myself to think beyond the visual designs to really dig deeper into how users interact when using Google+. Working directly with engineers and project managers is something I’m new to so it’s been a really cool experience so far.

I also worked with the Google Doodle team as part of my 20% side project. As a designer, creating a Google Doodle has been on my designer bucket list for a long time so being able to work with the doodlers was a dream come true. The doodle I created was for the Tanabata festival for Japan.

What does “being Googley” mean to you?
Being “Googley” to me is about trying your best, doing the right thing, and being an all-around friendly and good person. Being genuine, humble, and having a positive attitude are all traits of a Googley person. It’s about striving for excellence, being proactive, having a good time all at the same time.

If you could give one piece of advice to potential student applicants, what would it be?
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Team up with friends or people you know and create things that you’re passionate about. A lot of skills are learned outside of school so go ahead and work on side projects. It’s also helpful to have an entrepreneurial mindset; to be self-starters and leaders that are passionate to work on challenging projects to help the world.

Dream Google office to visit?
All of the Google offices are so well-designed for Googlers but one that I’d love to visit is the office in in Zurich, Switzerland. I heard they have an aquarium relaxation room, and that they have ski gondolas as small conference rooms.

Best gFit class?
I try to attend about 3-4 different gFit classes a week such as yoga, cardio kickboxing, and body pump. One of my favorite ones is the Aerial Silks class because it’s something I’ve always wanted to try. It’s incredible that these kinds of classes are offered here at Google.

Best intern event you’ve attended?
The intern carnival was really fun with the inflatable obstacle course race and mechanical bull, but I have to say the Sky High Trampoline Dodgeball day was the best so far. Bouncing on the trampoline, while dodging dodgeballs is a pretty fun way to meet new interns.

Fiona’s Googler host for the summer is Brynn Evans. Brynn is a Design Lead on the Google+ Team. In fact, Brynn joined Google on June 27, 2011 - one day before we launched Google+! Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Brynn went to Stanford for her undergraduate degrees and UC San Diego for her graduate degree. Brynn looks forward to weekly time in the Pilates studio and is a member of the Google+ UX acapella group, the Whizzy Whigs.

Why did you want to work at Google?
I had worked previously at a startup, an agency, and as a freelance designer. I wanted to experience working at a large company, expecting that I’d learn new & different things.

What are you working on at Google?
I’m a UX Lead on the Google+ team. I started as an individual contributor, became Stream UX Lead, and then became a UX Lead for a larger team that’s responsible for the G+ core mobile apps, including onboarding, growth, and engagement.

Why did you want to host an Intern?
I never had an intern before, but I have been an intern and knew how immensely valuable it is to have good internships. I thought my team could provide a good environment for an intern. Additionally, I love teaching, mentoring, and advising — especially new grads. When I was recently out of school, I wish I had had a mentor to help guide me; instead now, I’m hoping I can be that mentor for others.

What’s the best part about your team?
The people! The designers on my team are incredibly talented, humble, and collaborative. They’ve taught me a tremendous amount and make coming into work everyday a pure joy. It’s true what they say: it’s the people that matter.

What’s the best part about working with your intern?
Her passion, excitement, and motivation! Fiona came into Google fired up and excited to get started on a project. Since then, she’s worked on an exploratory project, created a Google Doodle (which is extremely uncommon), and has also started her main intern project. Fiona’s got the talent to be good designer; but it’s her passion and motivation that will make her great!

What’s your favorite perk to utilize at Google?
Google offers Pilates Reformer classes that I take twice a week. It’s become such an important part of my routine that I never let meetings or conflicts get in the way of my two hours a week of “me time.”

What’s the thing you’ve accomplished during your career at Google that you’re most proud of?
Last October, I kicked off an event series called XX+UX — a monthly meetup for Women in UX. I quickly discovered that there is an eager & talented community of women UXers who love to connect and share stories. Until recently, there just hasn’t been an event series dedicated exclusively to bringing them together, so I’m proud to have played a role in that.

So far we’ve had events in the Bay Area, Austin, and Paris. This summer, we’ll be having inaugural XX+UX events in NYC, London, and Sydney!

What’s your favorite Google moment so far?
As a member of the Whizzy Whigs, the Google+ UX acapella group, we sang Bohemian Rhapsody at TGIF last year! It was incredibly fun being up on stage in front of the whole company!

What is one fun fact about you?
I can sing “If you’re happy and you know it” in Japanese.

To show you just how much of an impact interns make and to highlight their unique experiences, we’re bringing you a special blog series: Google Intern Insights.For today's post, meet Shelbey Roberts, a BOLD intern in Mountain View on the GooglersGive team.

Tell us one fun, outlandish fact about you!
I’m an Android (kind of)! Last summer, one of my internship "projects" included walking around the Google New York office in a massively large, lime green Android costume greeting Nooglers (newly hired Googlers).

What inspired you to apply for this internship, and what made Google appealing to you as a potential intern?
One time, I watched a nightly news special on TV and it profiled Google and how it is consistently ranked among one of the best places to work in the entire world. I thought it was so interesting how Google developed such a successful company-wide operations strategy while still truly caring about their employees as human beings and being socially conscious of the world. One day I thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to say I interned for a place like that?” From there, I applied and the rest is history!

Outside of being a Google intern, what are some fun things you do outside the classroom/office throughout the year?
I’m an anchor and a producer for the University of Michigan’s student-run television station called WOLV-TV. I write news content, operate cameras and audio switchboards and I get to be on air for our campus-wide audience! It’s hard work and long hours, but so much fun!

What team are you working on at Google? Can you provide us with a high-level description of your summer project?
As a BOLD intern, I work with the GooglersGive team which coordinates many of the volunteering and giving initiatives that allow Googlers to help out local communities and other places around the world. My core project includes developing, advertising, distributing and analyzing a global GooglersGive internal survey, of which we use the feedback to improve Googlers’ overall experience with our volunteering and giving programs as well as increase participation.

What’s the best part about working with your manager? What about your team?
The best part about working with my manager and the rest of my team is that our entire job is to come together to develop and implement strategies that will help improve the communities around us and around the globe. From organizing company-wide community service opportunities, to encouraging employees to donate to charity, to launching environmental, hunger, and education campaigns, we are able to provide Googlers with opportunities to give back in a tangible way. We make an impact and it’s a great feeling!

What is something that you’ve learned thus far about working on a team and/or in a professional environment?
When you’re working with a team, a positive attitude goes a longgg way! Team members tend to appreciate seeing a smiling face or hearing an encouraging word especially in the midst of stressful projects and tight deadlines. That kind of happy spirit is contagious! Plus nobody likes working with a negative Nancy!

We all know Googlers and interns love the food and the other benefits. Outside of some of the well-known perks, what’s your favorite part about working at Google?
The coolest thing I find is that Google trusts its interns to work on projects that full-time employees would work on. In my case, my team implements changes to their global volunteering and giving programs partly as a result of the data results that I provide them with. Even as an intern, my team not only values my opinions, but they also encourage me to voice my thoughts on how we as a team can improve the work that we do. It’s nice to know that I am able to contribute.

What’s something you’ve accomplished during your internship (thus far) that you’re most proud of? Or something you’re looking forward to working on?
I have officially overcome my discomfort with numbers! Before this summer, I was never the most confident person when it came to statistics and other forms of math. Quite frankly, if it had to do with numbers, I wanted nothing to do with it. But this summer, my entire project is data driven which requires me to frequently use math and problem solving. With the help of my team, I have been able to do things like learn Excel, analyze data, and transform a weakness into a developing skill. I am very proud of myself for keeping an open mind throughout this entire project!

What does “being Googley” mean to you?
To me, if you’re Googley, you’re not only intelligent and capable of doing your job, but you also convey a personality of friendliness and willingness to get to know others.

Best meal at Google so far?
The chicken, waffle, egg and bacon breakfast sandwich from the Cluck It Up food truck is absolutely incredible! It’s a glorious mix of sweet, salty and unhealthy topped off with bacon!

If you could give one piece of advice to potential student applicants, what would it be?
First step: You won’t know until you try, so just apply! Second step: Really use the application to showcase who you are as a person. Many students who apply have the performance skills needed for the job, but try to find your personal Googley fact and include it. Maybe you broke a world record, or you’re a national champion of something, or you started your own business or maybe you just have a very interesting personal background story. Whatever your BOLD fact is, think about highlighting it to show what sets you apart from everyone else.

Denver Ogaro, a student at Harvard University originally from Kenya, is a Software Engineering Intern in our Cambridge office. Denver is completing his third internship with Google after previously working as an Engineering Practicum intern. Denver is named after his dad’s favorite country western singer, is fluent in four languages and when he is not studying he likes to play Cards Against Humanity, play Rock Band, and watch movies.

How did you get interested in Computer Science?
The first time I used a computer was at the beginning of my high school freshman year. It was one of the shared desktops in the school’s computer lab. Two years later, I discovered a vulnerability in the school’s network that allowed an attacker to gain access to exam questions and edit transcripts before they were printed.

What inspired you to apply for this internship, and what made Google appealing to you as a potential intern?
Google is just barely sixteen years old, and in its relatively short lifetime, it has revolutionized how we obtain and use information. We have become dependent on many of Google’s products in our daily lives, from its search engine, to its mapping service. It is every developer’s dream that code they write will change the world. I believe that that is more possible here at Google than anywhere else.

What’s the best part about working with your manager? What about your team?
I work with the knowledge-events team, which is responsible for building and analyzing Google’s repository of music concerts, festivals and other live events. The team’s job is to make sure that Google’s Knowledge Graph keeps up with upcoming events. Information generated by the team’s pipeline shows up in Search, in response to event-related user queries.

This summer, I will mostly focus on investigating ways of improving the quality of data produced by the pipeline. This will involve modifying the pipeline to detect sources of known inaccuracies, and implementing ways of correcting them.

Zachary has been an amazing host and mentor. Proactively, he has made himself readily available to help me answer any code-related questions I might have, and has gone out of his way to smooth my transition into the team. His desk is just a few feet from mine, and he regularly checks in to help me through a task I might be struggling with, explain some obscure part of the team’s codebase, or pick on a silly (but hilarious) design flaw in an internal tool.

We all know Googlers and interns love the food and the other benefits. Outside of some of the well-known perks, what’s your favorite part about working at Google?
Interns and employees get to try out new products and product upgrades before they are released publicly. It is somewhat of a thrill being privy to technology that isn’t available to the rest of the world yet.

What’s something you’ve accomplished during your internship (thus far) that you’re most proud of? Or something you’re looking forward to working on?
The team keeps an internal dashboard that is used to query for and display statistics about data managed by the pipeline. I have just finished working on a changelist that fixes a few bugs it had, revamps its UX, and adds new functionality to its backend and UI. The new version of the dashboard will be available across Google in a few days.

What does “being Googley” mean to you?
One of the company’s core values, and one that has become ingrained in the culture at Google, is to always put the user before any short-term financial gain. I think the most important part about being ‘Googley’ is being able to innovate solely for the purpose of improving people’s lives, and without hope of anything in return.

Best meal at Google so far?
The best burritos I have ever eaten are those at Charlie’s cafe.

What is your favorite part of the Google office in Cambridge?
On the third floor of 5CC, there is space overlooking Main Street that has a giant swing suspended from the ceiling. The swing is large enough for you to lie in. It is amazing.

Best intern event you’ve attended?
The Mountain View office organizes a boat cruise for interns and their hosts at the end of summer. I attended one a couple of years ago. It was unforgettable.

Denver’s summer intern host is Zachary Clifford, a Software Engineer in our Cambridge office. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. When Zachary isn’t coding, he enjoys playing board complex games like Settlers of Catan with a group of friends.

Where are you from originally?
I grew up in the second largest Paris in the world (or that’s what we claim about Paris, TX, anyway).

Tell us one fun, outlandish fact about you!
I once entered a LEGO robotics competition. My robot was named Trogdor (of Homestar Runner fame) because it was mostly notable for catching fire. Needless to say, I didn’t do very well in that competition.

What inspired you to host an intern?
I wanted to get involved with some of Google’s outreach programs, meet some people about to start on their careers, and get some experience managing/mentoring someone.

What team are you working on at Google? Can you provide us with a high-level description of the work you do?
I work on upcoming events in Search. Today you can ask Google about musical performers, and their Knowledge Card will show you upcoming events that we understand. I’m working on making the data behind it even better.

What’s the best part about your team?
We are working on a relatively prominent feature for people seeking information about artists, so I can see the impact on Search directly. The system is largely self-service for big and small performers, so I like to think we’re opening up a little bit of Search to content creators.

We all know Googlers and interns love the food and the other benefits. Outside of some of the well-known perks, what’s your favorite part about working at Google?
Google is working on many amazing projects across the company, and the ability to move teams keeps me interested. I also have the opportunity to work closely with Googlers in offices around the world as part of my daily job, which is very exciting.

What’s the best part about working with your intern?
I’ve enjoyed outlining problems we’re trying to solve with Denver and seeing what solutions he comes up with for them. Having a new team member with a fresh perspective is great for that.

What does “being Googley” mean to you?
Treating others with respect, being a little quirky, and above all, being enthusiastic about change.

Best meal at Google so far?
I really like the sushi bar.

If you could give one piece of advice to potential student applicants, what would it be?
The keys to doing well at Google are knowing the fundamentals of computer science and being able to learn new things quickly. We have some amazingly complicated systems to solve the big problems we face, and quickly understanding them is an important part of building on top of them.
